Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Shrimp : Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels — this ensures they bake up crisp, not watery.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter Mixture : In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Pour half of this mixture over the shrimp and toss until they’re evenly coated.

Step 3: Make the Parmesan Topping : In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Add a drizzle of the remaining butter mixture and toss to lightly moisten the topping.

Step 4: Assemble the Shrimp : Arrange the coated shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture evenly over the shrimp. Drizzle any leftover garlic butter on top for extra flavor.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection :Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and lightly golden on top. For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end — just watch carefully to avoid burning.

Step 6: Finish and Serve : Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the hot shrimp. Sprinkle with more parsley and serve immediately.
